Politicians must soon take over that Norway will struggle more to find people than finding money. SV’s national meeting does not seem to want to be first out. It weakens the realism of the party’s ambitions considerably. SV’s alternative budget may go up, but the need for people seems more difficult to reckon home. We will be more elderly and fewer in working age in the years to come. It has not been missing on warnings. From NAV, Statistics Norway, the government’s projections, various expert committees. Staff shortages in the public sector are already leading to bidding matches, wage spirals and problems in both municipalities and health care. Wall of Shame and Ryk and Reis: SV leader Kirsti Bergstø knows how to tip the message to obtain the party’s visibility. Here in front of his shame-wall of Norwegian kingdoms. Photo: Mats Rønning / news The debates on the birth supply in Kristiansund and the school structure in Lom have become symbolic examples of a new reality. The Oil Fund has made financial prioritization easier for politicians. We don’t have people on funds. Prioritizing what people should work on becomes much more difficult. SV wants many more employees for health, school, green industry and defense without wanting to prioritize or rank. More staffing boosts SV calls alarms at this year’s national meeting. SV believes the welfare state must be expanded because employees cannot jump faster or become fewer. SV has many employees in welfare professions among their active politicians, voters and not least potential voters. It may have affected SV’s political priorities. It may have shadowed the ability and/or the will to take over that people will be a scarcity in a way that today’s politicians have never had to deal with. SV will increase the number of health care staff, the basic education green industrial workplaces and the Armed Forces. In addition, a number of areas where SV’s policy are directly or indirectly likely to require increased staffing as a consequence. The SV owes its voters a calculation of how staffing their policy is and where the positions should be taken from or come from. For SV’s draft program, little says about this. The only thing we can understand is that the party’s policy will require fewer employees in the oil industry, add up to increased immigration and have great ambitions to get more people into working life and fewer in part -time work. It is commendable to want to get more people to work, but alternating governments over several years have experienced how difficult it is in practice. Therefore, it should be well done that the calculation goes up. Especially when SV wants to cut the normal working time in a large working time reform. It can get someone into working life, but also increases staffing needs. The most important thing in the future is to prioritize labor for health, care and care. This applies to all parties. Here, SV will have more employees Here SV writes directly that they will increase staffing health: the specialist health service, the GP, nurses, health care workers. Education: Kindergartens, schools, SFO, school health service, social teachers, special educators, child and youth workers and environmental therapists. Child welfare and mental health: Municipal child welfare and child welfare institutions, interpreters, low -threshold mental health care. Industry: Engineers for increased production of renewable energy, offshore wind, solar power and expand existing hydropower. Defense: Focus on people in the Armed Forces, more conscripts, more apprentices, stopping personnel flight, increased educational capacity. Measures that directly or indirectly will require increased staffing spring recording in kindergartens. Better rights to assistants for people with disabilities. Several refugees to Norway and reinstated the right to Norwegian education for asylum seekers. Build student housing and many large railway projects. Emergency services across the country. Create and serve free school food at secondary schools and high schools. More farms in operation and more processing of fish on land. Access to cultural school to more. More for crisis centers and legal aid. Focus on combating environmental crime and economic crime in the police. Was warned no later than last year. The party leadership wants to stroke this from the program proposal. They are critical of the norm as a method, not the goal of more employees. In any case, SV will do SFO for free. As late as November last year, SV was warned by the LO summit Mette Nord. She is the leader of the Trade Union who organizes the employees. She told Aftenposten that expanding the free scheme to a new grade level is “directly unjustifiable” because there is not enough staffing. Because, who would have thought, making the offer free made it more popular. Expansive financially, taxes will hard it is probably a while since the first time “SV” and “unrealistic” were written in the same sentence. The now fifty -year -old party has always had to defend its economic policy. SV is, and has always been, true to the varying success formula: a progressive and radical fan bearer for the welfare state. Many have disagreed and pointed out that this cannot be implemented. SV continues to afford dental reform, defense lifting, railway efforts and oil cuts. Simultaneous. The party still believes that a comprehensive state with a lot of responsibility can be financed, if you just tax the rich, hard progressively and are willing to prioritize the community. SV has ample opportunity in its alternative budget to show the outside world that the state’s responsibility and scope can grow if you tax more or prioritize differently. On the other hand, they will never be charged. It’s a shame. Principles or pragmatism SV peaks Torgeir Knag Fylkesnes, Audun Lysbakken and Kirsti Bergstø explained three years ago the press and the country why the party would not go into government with Ap and Sp. The SV national meeting is expected to decide to go to elections on a red-green majority government, but would also seek power in other ways if the election result so indicates. Photo: Terje Pedersen / NTB Several of the internal debates in SV are currently moving along a kind of axis between a desire for a more principled or more pragmatic SV. The impression is that Kirsti Bergstø (party leader since the spring of 2023) is unable to balance these different wishes as well as its predecessors. It was particularly clear with all the press releases on the collaborative environment between Kari Elisabeth Kaski and Ingrid Fiskå. In many cases this period, SV’s parliamentary group has been divided in the middle. In the National Assembly hall, there are debates on power policy and EEA resistance. Over time support for the Socialist Left Party 0 % 5 % 10 % 15 % 20 % Show the party’s time in the government The graph shows the Socialist Left Party’s support in news’s ​​polls from Norstat over the past four years. In recent years, the SV has been able to talk about fair distribution and climate policy and as a slightly more change-ivy party than Ap. In line with Aps fall, SV has increased its support. In the current situation nationally and internationally, Ap sails up as a larger party for security -seeking voters. SV risks being left with an international policy that appeals to fewer, while the distribution and climate parts become less visible. SV risks that the social debate makes it easier to look at the party as the parody of itself. For a long time it has been easiest to spot a party that believes in climate solutions and is concerned about the weakest, which for many is more sympathetic. Right now, the party is not doing as well on the measurements anymore. So until the election it will be up to Bergstø’s party to get enough people.
